Formerly known as "BACK IN BLACK", the roots of this band started back in 1988.
The THUNDERSTRUCK name change came about around 1995 due to legalities with the name "BACK IN BLACK", (copyright issues with the bands former management).
Through the years there has been several comings and goings with band members, Rohan Moran, (original member of "BACK IN BLACK"), is the only original 'THUNDERSTRUCK' member in the current line - up.
After near on 10 years with "Dirty Deeds" (the opposition AC/DC tribute) Dave Ross crossed over to THUNDERSTRUCK in 2000.
After years acting as a fill in for Simon Croft, an original BACK IN BLACK member, Danny Borthwick has returned to the band fulltime on Rhythm Guitar.
Pete Lewis had occasionally P.Hilled the chair for original THUNDERSTRUCK drummer Steve Mitchel more and has now moved into the role fulltime.

With Danny, Pete and Dave you have the most experienced and strongest rhythm sections in any of the AC/DC tributes going around. Their knowledge of the music/songs and their strength as a unit shines through in every show.
All that, along with the experience, talent and showmanship of Lead Vocalist Brendan (BJ) Vernal, gives this band one hell of a head start on any AC/DC tribute.

THUNDERSTRUCK give you the full spectacle, so you not only have a great musical tribute, but a fully fledged show that will leave you feeling as if you have just witnessed AC/DC themselves, either from the 70s, or current. Their key is the 2 set split & BJs ability to vocally change from sounding like BON SCOTT, to roughing up the voice a bit to sing in a voice similar to BRIAN JOHNSONs.
This allows them to always pay tribute to BON (usually in the first set) & Then a Set of BRIAN.
The band can give you a 3 set show if you wish, but 2 sets usually covers a fair variety of Hits, Classics & the odd obscure song.
THUNDERSTRUCKS ability to diversify allows them to chop and change the sets (even during the show), so you are not always hearing the same songs at every show; yes, the 'HITS' will be there most shows, but the classics and especially the obscure songs, change regularly, bringing you –

THE ULTIMATE AC/DC TRIBUTE SHOW.
